Jarryd Hayne has reportedly requested a release from Gold Coast, opening the door for his NRL return to Parramatta.

News Corp says Hayne held talks with Titans CEO Graham Annesley on Thursday morning, and wants out of the final year of his contract to be close to his young daughter in Sydney, despite facing a huge pay cut.

He has been closely linked with a return to Parramatta, where he could expect to earn about $500,000 next season, less than half of his current deal.

"I don't know what the term is because he can't officially sign with Parra until he is released by the Titans, but I can't see the club standing in his way on compassionate grounds."

"Jarryd would have happily honoured the final year of his deal at the Titans, but his family situation has changed that. It was either quit rugby league altogether or go to Sydney and help with his child."
